ABSTRACT
The objective of the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN) is to monitor the food intake of individuals attended by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). The objective of this research was to identify the feeding practices of children under 24 months of age who were attended at Primary Healthcare Units (UBS), using SISVAN, and to assess the relationship with maternal sociodemographic profiles. A cross-sectional study was conducted in order to evaluate 350 children using the Food Consumption Marker Form of SISVAN, and maternal demographic data to identify sociodemographic profiles by exploratory factor analysis. Of the children assessed, 41.1% were under 6 months of age and 98.7% of those between 6 and 23 months had an inadequate intake. Two sociodemographic profiles were found: Profile 1 (mothers with lower income, less education, and recipients of the 'Bolsa Família' conditional family grant program) associated with the consumption of water/tea, cow's milk and salty baby food; and Profile 2 (older mothers with many children and with a larger number of residents in the household) associated with breast milk consumption (p = 0.048). The use of SISVAN made it possible to identify that children had inadequate feeding practices, and Profile 1 appears to be a risk profile for weaning.
O Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN) objetiva monitorar as características do consumo alimentar de indivíduos atendidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as práticas alimentares de crianças menores de 24 meses que frequentam Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS), utilizando o SISVAN, e avaliar a relação com perfis sociodemográficos maternos. Estudo transversal que avaliou 350 crianças utilizando-se o Formulário de Marcadores de Consumo Alimentar do SISVAN, e dados sociodemográficos maternos para a identificação dos perfis a partir da análise fatorial exploratória. Das crianças avaliadas, 41,1% das menores de 6 meses e 98,7% daquelas entre 6 e 23 meses apresentaram consumo inadequado. Foram encontrados 2 perfis sociodemográficos: Perfil 1 (mães com menor renda, menor escolaridade e beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família) associado com o consumo de água/chá, leite de vaca e papa salgada; e Perfil 2 (mães com mais idade, com maior número de filhos e com maior número de residentes no domicílio) associado com o consumo de leite materno (p= 0,048). A utilização do SISVAN possibilitou identificar que as crianças apresentaram práticas alimentares inadequadas, e o Perfil 1 parece ser um perfil de risco para o desmame.

La enfermedad de Kawasaki es un proceso vasculítico multisistémico cuya etiología es poco conocida. La presentación clínica es florida y su evolución está condicionada al inicio temprano de la terapia específica con gammaglobulinas, de allí la importancia de un diagnóstico precoz. Habitualmente estos casos cursan con dilatación del lecho arterial coronario siendo excepcional la aparición de alteraciones a nivel de arterias de mayor calibre, menos común aneurismas a nivel cerebral, que confiere un peor pronóstico para estos pacientes. Presentamos el caso de lactante de 3 meses de edad con aneurisma de ambas arterias coronarias, arteria subclavia izquierda, cerebral media derecha y ambas Iliacas, y obstrucción de las mismas.
Kawasaki disease, a multisystem vasculitis of unknown etiology can present in various ways. It is crucial to make an early diagnosis, and consequently give gamma globulin in order to abort its insidious evolution and not infrequently fatal outcome. Aneurysms and obstruction of the coronary arteries are the most characteristic presentations. Other large vessels may be involved, with the cerebral circulation being affected least often but having the worst prognosis. We present a clinical case of a 3 month old breast fed infant with aneurysms and obstructions in both coronary arteries, the left subclavian, right middle cerebral, and both iliac arteries.

Hypocalcemia is due to Hypoparathyroidism, Vitamin D deficiency, Hypomagnesemia, Inadequate calcium intake. The benefits of breast-feeding are well established. There are no need to supply calcium or Vitamin D in breast-fed infant. We report a case of infantile hypocalcemia caused by Vitamin D deficiency in exclusively breast-fed infant. He had no hypocalcemic symptom and hypocalcemia was found incidentally by routine laboratory tests during pneumonia treatment. He was presented with a low serum calcium level and 1,25(OH)2 Vit D3 level and high PTH. He was improved by Calcium and Vitamin D supplement. After then his mother continued breast feeding exclusively and resisted to feed her baby weaning food. During follow up period, hypocalcemia was recheked after discontinuation of vitamin D supplement. At 11 months of age, the calcium level was normal without vitamin D supplement after he had eaten weaning food. This report describes a case of hypocalcemia induced by vitamin D deficiency in exclusively breast-fed infant, with review of the literature.

PURPOSE: We compared the hematologic data, serum biochemical and immunoglobulin values at 1 month of age and anthropometric variables at 1, 4, and 6 months of age between breast-fed and formula-fed infants. METHODS: Healthy full-term infants whose parents agreed with our study were enrolled. The hematologic and serum biochemical and immunoglobulin values were measured at birth and at 1 month of age. Anthropometric variables were measured at birth and 1, 4, and 6 months of age. RESULTS: In general, the hematologic and serum biochemical and immunoglobulin values were not different at 1 month of age between breast-fed and formula-fed infants. And there were no differences in growth between breast-fed and formula-fed infants from 0 to 6 months. CONCLUSION: There were no differences in growth and almost same values of hematology, serum biochemistry, immunoglobulin between breast-fed and formula-fed infants.
